Snow Means Love: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Kanon]]'' is entirely based around sad girls in the snow. Small wonder that Yuuichi hates the stuff.

* In Tomoyo's route in the ''[[Clannad]]'' visual novel, Tomoya {{spoiler|breaks up with her [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|so that she can focus on her responsibilities]] and become successful}}. After eight months, he walks out of the school one day and sees her standing in the snow in front of him. She tells him that {{spoiler|her responsibilities are concluded}}, that she loves him, and that she has been waiting for him for those whole eight months. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|They hug.]]

** Done exactly the same way in the bonus episode of [[Clannad]] called "Another World: Tomoyo".

* In ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'', Ilya ''makes'' it snow when parting with Shirou at one point. It's actually a mix of the two types listed in that {{spoiler|Ilya is his adopted sister}}, so not quite romantic love, plus she's a little [[Cute and Psycho|strange]] sometimes and sad girl in the snow, because it's one of the big clues to Shirou that her cheerful act is mostly a facade against being hurt anymore. Apparently, every Holy Grail War in Fuyuki has taken place in winter. You know some people love that grail.

* Brutally subverted in [[Katawa Shoujo|Katawa Shoujo.]] The game opens with a [[Love Confession]] to the main character, Hisao, by his crush in the falling snow. Unfortunately, the stress of the situation triggers Hisao's cardiac arrythmia - which he didn't even know he had before then - and things veer dangerously close to [[Snow Means Death]] as he has a heart attack. He spends the next six months in the hospital... and the relationship doesn't last more than six weeks.

Line 141:

* ''[[Megatokyo]]'': The phrase "sad girl in snow" in webcomics was popularized by the strip, deriving simply from the fact that this is something the creator/character Piro draws a lot of. Specifically [http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/142 this guest comic] by [[Mac Hall]], lampooning Piro's angst, self-depreciation and fascination with [[Moe Moe]], even early in the strip. There hasn't been snow until near the end of Chapter 9. Of course, shortly after it starts, {{spoiler|[[Snow Means Death|Miho gets nuked]]}}.

* There used to be ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' merchandise that pulled this with [[Evil Twin|Nale]] and [[Horny Devils|Sabine]].

* In retrospect, ''[[The Water Phoenix King]]'' used this in Chapter 3 (it was also [[Snow Means Death]], for some.)
